Not Shanghaed but Sent to state Prison
san FRANCISCO. January 2lst.-Thoma:
Harvey, who disappeared on the 18th O
| December, and whose wife received letter
yesterday from him, stating that he hat
been shanghaed on board whaler, ha:
been discovered to be the man who under
the name of Thos. Watson was sentenced
on Saturday to six years Imprisonment in
San Quentin for stealing a ten-cent purse
from woman. Suspicion was first aroused
as TO the truth of the statements in the let
ter, from the fact that the letter was dated
only two weeks back, and that no mention
was made as to the vessel he had been
shanghaed aboard. This led to an exami
nation of the envelope, and it was found
to have San Francisco postmark. De
tectives took the case in hand, with tbs
above result. Harvey had written the let
ter to his wife, in the hope of keeping hel
in ignorance OF the disgrace. When she
was informed of the true state of affairs she
was very much affected and shed tears
copiously.
